it's possible that the safety of raw chicken may differ by breed/size: su tong is a siberian husky---maybe size is a consideration--small dogs may have a different time of it--i dont know.
what i do know is that he really really loves raw chicken.
and he is a very healthy dog (yay!).
and the other thing i do know is that i would not give him cooked bones.
in the end, there is a ton of mutually exclusive information out there about this topic.
when i decided to start feeding him raw chicken, i did so while i was still subscribed to a siberian husky e-list that had a ton of breeders and other neurotics who posted---i simply kept a bit of track of what the breeders said about it.
at this point, i am fairly sure of what works for him and what doesn't because of 6 years of hanging out with the old boy.

Well said Roachy... there's plenty of perspectives on this.
Though I haven't heard many people saying they've fed their dogs that many cooked bones and that the dogs have been ok. Or any scientific evidence as to why cooked bones are more dangerous. Can we send something into mythbusters about this?? I don't think the billion dollar dog food industry is going to help us find out. KFC is Calvin's favourite.
